Just to keep all you guys informed, and first may I thank those who sent thier kind words after my run-in with the annonymous, baseball cap wearing, nova driving gimp!! Its not good news, after a week at the insurance companies approved repairer, an independent engineer has decided that the damage to my car was not the result of an accident, and is refusing to authorize any repairs. He has said that because i tried to replace the suspension items i though were damaged, before i realised the severity of the damage, he has deemed it an old injury, and refuses to authorize the go ahead. To add insult to injury, he said the car is only worth scrap and has informed my insuranc…

A button that allows you to print off thepage you are looking at in a particular thread. Some times info is great but you need it printed out in frontof you when you are doing that job on the car. Easy enough to pront it off, but when a thread runs out to 9 or 10 pages and what you want is only on one particular page then it can be a pain. Havent the faintest how easy or not this is to do as I aint no IT bod. Just a thought Nick :cool:

Just a quick update; The temp needle was sitting just below half way on the temp gauge (obviously!!) unlike before I removed the engine 'blanket' the needle on the temp gauge was just over the middle...... So in conclusion; Blanket on = Hotter running engine Blanket off = Cooler running engine :bow: Seems that the blanket must hold alot of heat in.......plus the weather has been warmer today than most other times I've taken the Z out so far this year.

Big thanks to John for whacking me a new chip in last night and helping fit and set up the adjustable FPR :bow: The car definately feels more torque-y down the revs and all through midrange :bow:, and pulling away with loads of throttle is much quicker! Havent noticed much difference up the revs but it's fast as **** :D Thanks to Ryan for the help in changing my grotty brake fluid :bow: :cool: Hope you hand mends soon after my car fell on it :(:cry: :shock: The forum wouldnt be the same without guys like these :) Pete

Trying to do a few reports for uni but cant stop popping on here and wasting time. So, if one of the moderators could kindly shut this forum down for a few days that would be much appreciated. ;)

I did 140 the other day but bottled out for fear of losing my licence (I live in North Wales!). The car felt like it would have carried on to 160mph+. I'm running 14psi boost which helps a little:cool: What's the fastest you've been in your cars?

Happy Birthday matey :) Hope you have a good one

I saw the re-made version of the George Romero classic Dawn of the Dead at the weekend, now I'm a big fan of the original so I was thinking it was going to be a poor rip-off, god was I wrong! The idea behind the films was the same but they were quite different, I was particularly impressed that they didn't flinch from showing all the nasty bits :D I think the BBFC should pack up and go home, after letting them show the scene on the bus, I don't think there is anything which is more brutal that is taboo anymore, at least I can't think of anything! If your into your horror I can well recommend it. Did anyone else spot the cameo's by the original cast BTW?

having had to sell my zed last month after having written it off in january...i think its time to say my thanks and goodbye's i have recieved a lot of advice and help from people on here and am very grateful for it! i cant remember everyone but a few that really stick out would have to be Smithy, brilliant when i was getting my turbos very knowledgable and helpfull bloke Jay at NePerformance, supplied all parts for the turbos and 60k service, and generously offered to supply parts after my crash for cost price - top bloke! jeff @ 'youknowwhere' dont want any arguments caused but ive gotta be honest and i wouldnt have shifted my car if it werent for hi…

People seem to enjoy these days so I am trying to gain interest for one in the North West. I have found a place in Preston and I am enquiring whether they are able to do it. Is any one interested? If so can you post your interest so when I get a reply to my email, I can say so far we have so many interested. Like I said, its in Preston which is alot closer than Thor and SE for the Northern lot. ;) I have no information on price yet or of their dyno system, but they do seem to specialise in rallying cars. Who's interested? Stuart, P.S. This is not just a Northern only RR day, any one who can get there can go. :D
